Girls in Science Coloring Page with a Girl at a Microscope

A smiling girl in safety goggles and a lab coat looks through a microscope on this girls in science coloring page. She holds a knob on the side of the microscope, and a rack of three test tubes, a potted plant and a spiral notebook share the table. Girls in Science sits above her in round bubble letters, with science symbols and stars around it.

It is a free printable for ages 5 to 9. The International Day of Women and Girls in Science, set by the United Nations, is February 11, and the page fits that date on the class calendar or a science center.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the words Girls in Science in big hollow letters at the top of the page, above a smiling girl in safety goggles and a lab coat looking through a microscope on a table, with test tubes in a rack, a potted plant and a notebook beside her, drawn with clean outlines, the girl and the table kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below them, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

The words "in safety goggles and a lab coat" gave the girl wide goggles over her eyes and a coat with pointed lapels over her shirt. "Looking through a microscope" pressed one eye to the eyepiece. The test tubes, the plant and the notebook from the idea sit on the table at her sides.

Inside This Girls in Science Coloring Page

The girl is in the middle of an experiment, and an atom, a round flask, a DNA strand and a molecule float around the title, two on each side.

On February 11, a teacher can point to each symbol and say its name before the class starts coloring. Children can then write on the back of the sheet what they would like to look at under a microscope.

Girls in Science runs on three lines, with the short word in on the middle line. On the left, the atom has crossing oval orbits around a ring, and the round flask below it holds a wavy line of liquid and three bubbles. On the right, the DNA strand twists down with rungs between its sides, and the molecule is a large ball joined to smaller ones. Four small stars fill the gaps around the letters.

On the table, three test tubes stand in a rack, each with a line across it for the liquid. The microscope has its lenses at the bottom of the tube, a square stage with a slide and a round base. The plant has five pointed leaves in a pot with a rim, and the spiral notebook has a blank label on its cover.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Color the lab coat a very light gray or leave it white. Give the goggles a pale blue tint, and fill each test tube with a different color below its line.

Use green for the plant and a clay orange for the pot. The atom, the flask, the DNA strand and the molecule can each take a bright color of their own, and the stars can stay yellow.

If your class has a favorite science tool, such as a magnifying glass or a magnet, make a science page with that tool for the next lesson.
